Changing the state file permission

I am using linux OS and I have been trying to replicate the file permissions into this state -rwxrw-rw

No matter how I tweaked the settings in the Permissions tab (right click on file >> Properties >> Permissions), I have been playing around with the Access and the Execute, and unfortunately whenever I use the command ls -la in terminal, I am never getting that particular file permission state that I wanted.

Additionally, I am also getting somewhat confused especially where the x factor is applicable whenever i choose Read and Write as the option, but I am unable to get rid of it should I use the same option for the next access. I can only get either -rw-rw-rw- or -rwxrwxrwx as my result

Any ideas how I can replicate/ reproduce a file permission into this state -rwxrw-rw or should this can only be done via using the terminal only??

Use: chmod 766 yourfile or if you have no permission try: sudo chmod 766 yourfile.
