Let $M$ be an $R$-module ($R$ is a ring with identity) and let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be two injective submodules such that $M_1\cap M_2$ is also injective. How to show $M_1+M_2$ is injective?
If the sum $M_1+M_2$ was direct then it's straightforward to show this statement, but in this case I'm a bit lost.
Thanks
Hint: what exact sequence can you build up out of $M_1\oplus M_2, M_1 + M_2$ and $M_1\cap M_2$?
