Let R be a ring and let FCR be a subring. Suppose

Let R be a ring and let FCR be a subring. Suppose that F is a field. (When this happens, we say that R is an F-algebra.) Define scalar multiplication FXR R by crer (where the right-hand side denotes ring multiplication). Prove that this scalar multiplication and the usual ring addition turns R into a vector space over F.
