Clarification using W equations

Hi!
U= q + w
isothermal, U=0 right?
so s q=-w
also main question i have here is:
W= PdV
when do we use
w=nRln(v2/v1)
w=P(v2-v1)
\im taking physical chemistry for the past two months and I am still getting this confused

Since this is Chemical Forums, I think you should check your sign conventions.
