#What to do when there are two same values in maximization?

Hi! I was solving a maximization problem when along the way, it resulted into having two same values when the vertices were substituted to the functions. Which one am I supposed to go with? They're both the largest, only from different vertices.

Please help 😭

And please don't mind the minimum value that I wrote on the bottom, it's supposed to be maximum 🤡

Is this a integer linear programming question? You can have two points with the same max

#

But recheck your working once with a online calc anywho

Ohhh that's alright then

#

You typically do get only one Max for regular linear programming but when it's integer linear programming you can get this case sometimes where it's more than one Max

Yep

Though it's better you send the question here so someone can check

you cant always just list out the integer points in the feasible region

Yeah looks like 2 solutions

Infinitely many solutions if they don't have to be integers
