There is not technically a formula for the Third Law of Motion. It is simply a concept that explains 'reactionary' forces that exist in our everyday life. Yet, symbolically, the Third Law of Motion can be depicted as:

Fa = -Fb

Force applied depicted as, Fa, is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to Fb.

An example of this idea would be if a person punched a concrete wall. The reason he is hurt by punching a concrete wall is because the wall applies a force equal in magnitude (as his applied force) but opposite in direction on the person.
