Challenge Algebra 101

I really struggled with this. I still do not fully understand it.

    (b)      = ?
    c	= m – ( b x t )
    bt	= m – c
    b	= (m-c)/t

    (m)   = ?	
    c	= m – ( b x t )
    m	= c + (bt)

     (b)            = ?, if m = 100, t = 120 and c = 0 
     0             = 100 – ( ? x 120)
    ? x 120	= 100 – 0
    ?	        = 100/120
    **0.833r	= burn rate (b)**

    (m) = ?, if b =2, t = 120, c = 0
    0	= ? – ( 2 x 120 )
    ?	= 0 + (240)
     **240	= max fuel (m)**
