Fill in the Blank

A quality control technician is auditing a production line's calibration factor, represented by the variable yy in the balance equation 9y+2=6y+3{}9y + 2 = 6y + 3. To verify if a trial calibration of y=13y = \frac{1}{3} is a valid solution, the technician substitutes this value into both sides of the equation. After performing the multiplication step, the equation simplifies to 3+2=2+3{}3 + 2 = 2 + 3. Completing the final addition on both sides yields the numerical identity statement 5={}5 = ____.
