In this problem, Cindy starts with $200 in her checking account and writes a check for $170. We need to write an expression with addition to find the new balance.

To solve this:

- Cindy starts with **$200**.
- She writes a check for **$170**, which subtracts that amount from her balance.

The key here is that subtracting 170 can be written as adding a negative number.

So, the expression using addition would be:
\[
200 + (-170)
\]

This represents starting with $200 and subtracting $170 by adding a negative value. The new balance would then be:

\[
200 - 170 = 30
\]

Cindy's new balance is **$30**.
