    Better provide MWE so it would be easier to decide which is working and which is not. Moreover, the formula you desire seems having unnecessary / inconsistent spaces (before the first asterisk and after the second one). – hesham Feb 05 '19 at 01:27

    Do you even need to do it in math mode? Usually this sort of thing is done using \texttt{...} or verbatim. – John Kormylo Feb 05 '19 at 05:15

I normally use \ast: $5 \ast (Mul + 2 \ast Add)$

    in the most of fonts \ast is equivalent for *. if op desire to have \ast with five lives, than (s)he should find font, which define such symbol, for example MnSymbol. but question is unclear ... – Zarko Feb 05 '19 at 01:45
