Given:

Jessica owns 2 fewer books than Paul.

This statement means that the number of books Jessica owns is 2 less than the number of books Paul owns. It also mean the number of books Paul owns is 2 more than that of Jessica.

Let P represent the number of Paul's book.

To find the expression that can be used to find the number of books that Jessica owns, subtract 2 from the number of books Paul owns.

Thus, we have:

Number of books Jessica owns = P - 2

Therefore, the expression that can be used to find the number of books that Jessica owns is ==> P - 2

ANSWER:

P - 2
