Given that the utility maximization problem is: \begin{eqnarray*} \max_{\{y_j \geq 0 : 1\leq j\leq J\}} && \sum_{j=1}^{J} u(y_j) \\ \text{s.t.} && \sum_{j=1}^{J} p_jy_j \leq m\end{...

### Perfect Complements - Walrasian Equilibrium

If the prices $p_1$ and $p_2$ are positive than as you pointed out the equations \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{30p_1}{p_1+p_2} + \frac{20p_2}{p_1+4p_2} & = & 30 \\ \\ \frac{30p_1}{p_1+p_2} + ...
