To determine which system of equations has the point (5, -3) as a solution, we need to substitute \( x = 5 \) and \( y = -3 \) into each equation in the systems provided and see which system holds true for both equations.

### Option A:
1. **Equation 1:** \( y = x - 8 \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \):
\( y = 5 - 8 = -3 \) (True)

2. **Equation 2:** \( 2x + y = 7 \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \) and \( y = -3 \):
\( 2(5) + (-3) = 10 - 3 = 7 \) (True)

Both equations in Option A are satisfied.

### Option B:
1. **Equation 1:** \( y = \frac{2}{3}x + 6 \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \):
\( y = \frac{2}{3}(5) + 6 = \frac{10}{3} + 6 = \frac{10}{3} + \frac{18}{3} = \frac{28}{3} \) (Not true, since -3 is not equal to \(\frac{28}{3}\))

Since the first equation is not satisfied, we can discard this option.

### Option C:
1. **Equation 1:** \( y = x + 2 \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \):
\( y = 5 + 2 = 7 \) (Not true since -3 is not equal to 7)

Again, since the first equation is not satisfied, we can discard this option.

### Option D:
1. **Equation 1:** \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 6 \)
Substitute \( x = 5 \):
\( y = -\frac{1}{2}(5) + 6 = -\frac{5}{2} + 6 = -\frac{5}{2} + \frac{12}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \) (Not true since -3 is not equal to \(\frac{7}{2}\))

Since the first equation is not satisfied, we can discard this option.

### Conclusion:
After checking all options, the only system that satisfies the point (5, -3) is:

**Option A:** \( y = x - 8 \) and \( 2x + y = 7 \)

To determine how many solutions the system of equations has, we can analyze the two equations given:

1. **Equation 1:** \( y = -2x + 12 \)

2. **Equation 2:** \( 4y + x - 20 = 0 \)

First, let's rewrite Equation 2 in slope-intercept form (i.e., \(y = mx + b\)):

Starting with:
\[ 4y + x - 20 = 0 \]

We can isolate \(y\):
\[ 4y = -x + 20 \]

Now, divide by 4:
\[ y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5 \]

Now, we have both equations in the form of \(y = mx + b\):

1. \( y = -2x + 12 \) (slope = -2)
2. \( y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 5 \) (slope = -1/4)

### Analysis
- The slopes of the two lines are different (-2 and -1/4).
- Since the slopes are not equal, the lines will intersect at one point.

### Conclusion
The system of equations has **one solution**.

The correct answer is:
**B. One solution**.
