Let x\, be a nilpotent element of the commutative ring R\,. Let x^m=0\, for minimal m\isin \mathbb{Z}^+\,. Deduce that the sum of nilpotent element and a unit is a unit.


If the nilpotent element is 0 then the sum is the unit. If the nilpotent element is a zero divisor for some nonzero element of the ring, multipying the sum by the nonzero element and then by its inverse will give a unit.
