Problem Statement

Suppose α,β,γ{2,3}\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in\{-2,3\} are chosen such that M=maxxRminyR0αx+βy+γxyM=\max_{x\in\mathbb{R}}\min_{y\in\mathbb{R}_{\ge0}}\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma xy is finite and positive (note: R0\mathbb{R}_{\ge0} is the set of nonnegative real numbers). What is the sum of the possible values of MM?
