To solve for a, you must get a by itself on one side of the equation. Now, a is "joined" to m by multiplication. To "separate" them, use the inverse operation, division.

Divide both sides of the equation by m.

$F=ma \\ (F)/(m)=(ma)/(m) \\ (F)/(m)=a \\ a=(F)/(m)$

Solve for a in terms of F and m: F=ma
