## Tag 07Z3

Lemma 10.69.2. Let $R$ be a ring, $I \subset R$ an ideal, and $a \in I$. Let $R' = R[\frac{I}{a}]$ be the affine blowup algebra. Then

1. the image of $a$ in $R'$ is a nonzerodivisor,
2. $IR' = aR'$, and
3. $(R')_a = R_a$.

Proof. Immediate from the description of $R[\frac{I}{a}]$ above. $\square$
