Answer:

First law of thermodynamics.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system ΔE equals to the amount of heat energy supplied to the system H , minus the work done by the system on its surroundings. W.

The above definition can be expressed mathematically as: ΔE = H - W

This can also be restarted as energy of a close or isolated system is constant.
