please help, thanks! :)

If the system gains, the sign is positive.
If the system loses, the sign is negative.
ΔE = work + heat = w + q = +281J -961J = -680J
If the system loses, the sign is negative.
ΔE = work + heat = w + q = +281J -961J = -680J

It's best to ask a simple question first to test understanding of basic concepts.
