Let T be the ring R+xR[x,y] and let J be xR[x,y] so J is an ideal of
T. Does the ideal (x) in T contain the element xy? If so, show it. If
not then (x) is a proper ideal of (x,xy) which is a subideal of J,
where all ideals are viewed as ideals of T.

After that, look in turn at the elements xy^2, xy^3, ...

How does the ideal (x,xy,xy^2,xy^3,...) of T relate to J?

By the way, for this problem it doesn't matter whether or not R is
Noetherian, since there is no need to look at the ideals of R.
