The correct answer is:
$2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{z}$
$$
-\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{x}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=-\frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{y}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{z}]}{\mathrm{dt}}
$$
Correct reaction: $2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{z}$
(-) sign represents the rate of reactants.
