A question in noetherian ring!



Hi!

The question I want to ask is following;

Let M be a finitely generated R-module, where R is noetherian. Suppose
I is an ideal of R such that for each element a in I, there exists a
nonzero element x in M s.t. xa=0. Show that xI=0 for some nonzero
element x in M.

The product of all x_i's which satisfy x_i * a_i=0 where a_i's are
finite generator of I would fail because R is not domain. How to use
the condition M is finitely generated?
