Instantaneous rate of a reaction is $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{x}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=-\frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{y}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{z}]}{\mathrm{dt}}$, identify the reaction.

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