A reaction occurs between reactants X and Z. Doubling the concentration of X while the concentration of Z is constant doubles the rate. Tripling the concentration of Z while the concentration of X is constant does not affect the rate.

The reaction rate is independent of the concentration of reactant Z from the statement of the problem. So, the concentration of reactant Z would not be in the rate law. It is only dependent on the concentration of reactant X. The rate law would most likely be r = k[X].
