Mupad - using brackets in statements

This might be a silly question, but can anybody explain why this assignment in Mupad does not produce an error:
a:=1000(9-x)
I am trying to show students most common errors, and this was supposed to be an example of how they need to always use multiplication sign, however Mupad obviously thinks this is a valid command and assigns a = 1000. What does it think (9-x) is then?

MuPAD tries to be smarter about recognizing implied algebraic operations, so it is probably treating that as a multiplication, 1000*(9-x)
There are some other stranger possibilities that I cannot test as I do not have Mathwork's Symbolic Mathematics Toolbox
