Java if statements and write lines

I am trying to get my if statements to have seperate write commands such as bw.write(b + " - " + a +" = " + c + newLine); the issue is due to the newLine string and the bw Buffer being within curley braces I cannot get those to work. any ideas?

try {                       
    File file = new File("src/written.txt"); 
    if (!file.exists()) {
        file.createNewFile();
    }
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file, true);
    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
    String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");
    bw.write(b + " - " + a +" = " + c + newLine);
    bw.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Amount Transfered: " + b + " - " + "Previous Balance: " + a +"\nRemaning Balance: " + c);

if( c == 0){
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Transfered granted. Balance empty","Transation successful!",JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
}else if (c > 0){
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Transfered granted.","Transation successful!",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}else{
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Transfer denied due to insufficent funds.","Transaction denied!",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
