Plug in the value and find out.
16%286%29%2B19%283%29=17
20%286%29%2B3=1
Get a calculator and check both equations.
If you get the left hand side to equal the right hand side for both, then yes (6,3) is a solution.
Else it's not.

Hi dear,
(6,3) is not the solution.
REASON:
Put x=6 and y=3 in the above equation to see weather it gives 19 or 17.
