is x/y-x same as (x/y)-x?

Yes, x/y - x is the same as (x/y) - x. The parentheses don’t change the order of operations here; both expressions mean dividing x by y first, then subtracting x from the result. If it were meant to be x divided by y - x, it would be written as x/(y - x), with parentheses around y - x.
Hope it's clear.

No IMO these two are not the same as x/y-x can have two meanings
1) x/y-x = x/(y-x)
2) x/y-x = (x/y)-x
Usually when the question will come on the GMAT it will be more clear on what is it actually asking.
