Are these three formulas correct?
If Force = #F# ,
Acceleration = #a# ,
and Mass = #m#
does that mean
Force = #m# #xx# #a#
Acceleration = #F/m#
Mass = #F/a#
or did I include a mistake in my work?

These are all correct!
Explanation:
100% right
so
Correct mathematical representation of the last formula is
Explanation:
Especially the last formula assumes that while trying to obtain the value of mass
It is a convention and is understood.
Needless to say that the acceleration is produced by the force and therefore, these two vector quantities have the same direction. Strictly, speaking the correct formula should look like
Similarly, to be precise one may also write the remaining two expressions as
Force
Acceleration
