Decomposition a Module into a Pure Submodule and another Submodule

I am having trouble doing the following exercise.



Let $F$ be a field and let $M$ be a finitely generated module over the polynomial ring $F[x]$. Let $N$ be a pure submodule of $M$. Then, there exists a submodule $L$ of $M$ such that $N+L = M$ and $N cap L =0$.



By pure, I mean that if an element $y$ in $N$ and and element $a$ in $F$ are such that there exists an element $x$ in $M$ where $ax=y$, then there exists an element $z$ in $N$ such that $az = y$.

          I will write down some hints. Firstly, since $F$ is a field we have that $F[x]$ is PID.



          Consider the following short exact sequence: $0 longrightarrow N overset{i}longrightarrow M overset{pi}{longrightarrow} M / N longrightarrow 0$, where $i$ is the inclusion and $pi$ is the quotient map If this sequence splits then $M=N oplus M/N$.



          In order to find such morphism $ucolon M/N to M$ such that it satisfies the $2$nd equivalent statement of Splitting Lemma consider $M/N$ as a finitely generated module over the PID $F[x]$ and aplpy the Structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain and the use purity of $N$.
