Hard to catch. This is because of these semicolons ; on the lines of your ifs. You must not do that.
Sadly Java doesn't treat it as a compiling error and sees it as you wanting to execute no instructions when your if verifies instead.
Of course, that's an error nobody does when they're used to Java

The problem here is operator precendence.
Operator - has not greater precedence than + instead they're equals. As a result, the leftmost operator is applied first on the two leftmost operands.
That's "Total balance " + total
and that produces a String.
You can't substract something from a String.

What you need is to increase the precedence of the - operation, before you concatenate the result with +
That's what parentheses are for

(Though, looking at the bigger picture, a better approach would be that a withdrawal decreases the current balance, and after you've done that, you present what's the balance now that this operation has completed)

I'm guessing you don't know that you can set a different value to an existing variable, rather than having to keep the first value you put in it

By setting a new value for it after every deposit/withdraw

Something along the lines of:
balance = balance + amount;
