5. (*) Let R be a ring with 1 in which ab 0 whenever a, b E R are nonzero. Leta ER\ {0}. An element b E R is said to be a left (respectively, right) inverse for aif ba = 1R (respectively, ab = 1R). Show that if a E R has a left inverse b then b isalso a right inverse for a (and thus is an inverse for a).
