To rewrite the expression \( \frac{3}{1} + \frac{2}{1} - \frac{3}{3} \) using addition, you can convert the subtraction into addition by adding the negative of the value being subtracted.

The expression can be rewritten as follows:

\[
\frac{3}{1} + \frac{2}{1} - \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3}{1} + \frac{2}{1} + \left(-\frac{3}{3}\right)
\]

Now, we can compute \( \frac{3}{3} = 1\), so:

\[
\frac{3}{1} + \frac{2}{1} - 1
\]

So in your specific question, it can be rewritten as:

\[
\frac{3}{1} + \frac{2}{1} + \left(-1\right)
\]

This highlights the addition (and subtraction as adding a negative) you specified. If you need to simplify further, that would sum to:

\[
\frac{3}{1} + \frac{2}{1} - 1 = 3 + 2 - 1 = 4
\]

Thus, the final result of the expression is \( 4 \).
