Commutative Algebra, chapter V, § 1. Notion of an integral element

*Let A,A′A, A' be two rings, RR an AA-algebra, RR an A′A'-algebra (not necessarily commutative) and f:A→A′f : A \to A' and g:R→R′g : R \to R' two ring homomorphisms such that the diagram

A→fA′∣∣R→gR′ \begin{array}{ccc} A & \xrightarrow{f} & A' \\ | & & | \\ \mathbf{R} & \xrightarrow{g} & \mathbf{R}' \end{array}

is commutative. If an element x∈Rx \in R is integral over AA, then g(x)g(x) is integral over A′A'.

If xn+a1xn−1+⋯+an=0x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \cdots + a_n = 0 where ai∈Aa_i \in A for 1≤i≤n1 \leq i \leq n, we deduce that

(g(x))n+f(a1)(g(x))n−1+⋯+f(an)=0. (g(x))^n + f(a_1)(g(x))^{n-1} + \cdots + f(a_n) = 0.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
