Your e-mail is unreadable, convert to InputForm before copy and paste.

Reduce[a*x == b, x]

(b == 0 && a == 0) ||
   (a != 0 && x == b/a)

Reduce[{a*x == b, a != 0}, x]

a != 0 && x == b/a

Reduce[{a*x == b, a == 0}, x]

b == 0 && a == 0

Reduce[{a*x == b, b != 0}, x]

a != 0 && x == b/a && b != 0
