yes mass = force / acceleration

all equations can be derived to solve other missing variables as long as there is only one missing variable, and the others are given.

Yes, but ....

Lots of times, force = 0 and acceleration = 0. So 0 divided by 0 will not give you the mass.

Also, if mass is changing (like in a rocket), the the equation is:
force = time rate of change of (mass * velocity)

Matter used to be said to have mas but after Einstein it is more appropriate to use the term Mass-energy. Mass can really be thought of as "condensed energy." They are related by, E = MC^2, where E= energy, M = mass, C = velocity of light. Thus M = EC^-2.
