Tameysha, take the total number of horses and cows that the farmer had and subtract the number that he now has left to get the number of horses and cows that he sold. Hint: You have two numbers to subtract from the total.

Add up how many of these horses & cows he still has: 510 + 390 = 900.
He started with 995 horses. Subtract: 995 - 900 = 95 to get how many he sold.
