Explanation:

Step1: Identify initial balance and check amount

Initial balance is $27, check amount is $35. Withdrawal means subtraction.
Let \( B \) be the new balance. The equation is \( B = 27 - 35 \).

Step2: Perform the subtraction

\( 27 - 35 = -8 \)

Answer:

The new balance is \(-\$8\) (or the equation is \( B = 27 - 35 \) with solution \( B = -8 \)).
