This problem needs parenthesis to make it work. I don't think this is possible, but I am open to being wrong

Using order of operations, without parentheses:
6-6*3/2+5=-33
First multiply 6*3
6 -18/2 + 5 ?= -33
Then divide 18/2
6 - 9 + 5 ?= -33
Then add/subtract:
2 ?= -33
You definitely need parentheses.

It's 6-6*(3/2 + 5)=-33
with 3/2 and 5 separated
=> 6-6*(13/2)=-33
6-(3*13)=-33
6-39=-33
-33=-33
I'ts right what sammy has written.

6 - [(6 x 3) / 2] + 5 = - 33
6 - [18 / 2] + 5 = - 33
6 - 9 + 5 = - 33
- 3 + 5 = - 33
2 = - 33
The numerical expression is false
- - - - - - - - - -s-

6-6*3/2+5=-33
lets apply bodmas rule to it
=> 6-6*3/2+5
=> 6-6*1.5+5
=> 6-9+5
=> 6-4
=> 2
part one gives asnwer 2 which is not equal to -33
equation is false
