Answer:

answer is C.

Explanation:

Let's use "s" to represent the number of small beads Miranda will use on the necklace.Since Miranda wants the necklace to have a total of 36 beads, the total number of beads she needs is the sum of the number of large and small beads:7 (number of large beads) + s (number of small beads) = 36To solve for s, we can isolate it on one side of the equation by subtracting 7 from both sides:s = 36 - 7

s = 29Therefore, Miranda needs 29 small beads for the necklace. The answer is C.
