Auditing Environmental Filtration Rates

An environmental compliance officer is auditing a water filtration rate modeled by the equation 9y+2=6y+3{}9y + 2 = 6y + 3, where yy represents the filtration coefficient. To verify if a specific coefficient of y=13y = \frac{1}{3} is a valid solution, the officer applies the three-step verification strategy. After substituting the value and simplifying both sides of the equation, what is the specific mathematical statement (equality) reached that confirms y=13y = \frac{1}{3} is a valid solution?
