The problem is formulated by choosing weights/biases for the linear terms (qubits) and quadratic terms (couplers).
The terms are combined to form the total energy of the system.
You can take a look at this documentation to get an idea of how the energy values are calculated from the biases on the linear and quadratic terms: https://docs.dwavesys.com/docs/latest/c_gs_3.html
These values can be positive or negative, so you can imagine that the total energy can be positive or negative.
This is also the case of constraints.
I hope this is helpful.
