y= Weight of another bag.

As per given , we have

A vegetable seller has 31 kg of onions.

i.e. $x+y=31$    (1)

He distributes the onions in two bags such that one bag weighs 5

kg more than the other.

$x=y+5$   (2)

Put value of x from (2) in (1) , we get

$y+5+y=31$

$2y=31-5=26\Rightarrow\ y=13$

Put value of y in (2) , we get $x=13+5=18$

Therefore , the weight of the bags are 18 kg and 13 kg.
