Answer:

ΔE=q+w

Step-by-step explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given as ΔE=q+w, where ΔE is the change in internal energy of a system, q is the net heat transfer (the sum of all heat transfer into and out of the system), and w is the net work done (the sum of all work done on or by the system)
