$(3, 1/3)$ Elimination was more efficient. Please see the graph.

$7x-3y = 20$ $5x+3y = 16$ $(7x+5x-3y+3y) = 20+16$ $12 x = 36$ $12x/12 = 36/12$ $x = 3$ $5x + 3y = 16$ $5*3+3y = 16$ $15 + 3y = 16$ $15 + 3y - 15 = 16-15$ $3y = 1$ $3y/3 = 1/3$ $y= 1/3$ The graph was made using graphing software. Red line: $5x+3y=16$ Black line: $7x-3y=20$
