Algebra, chapter II, § 3. Tensor products

Let P be a projective left A-module and E, F two right A-modules. For every injective homomorphism u:E→Fu : E \to F, the homomorphism

u⊗1P:E⊗AP→F⊗AP u \otimes 1_P : E \otimes_A P \to F \otimes_A P
is injective.

There exists a left A-module Q such that L=P⊕QL = P \oplus Q is free (§ 2, no. 2, Proposition 4) and u⊗1Lu \otimes 1_L is identified (Proposition 7) with

(u⊗1P)⊕(u⊗1Q);(u \otimes 1_P) \oplus (u \otimes 1_Q);
it therefore suffices to prove the corollary when P is free (§ 1, no. 6, Corollary 1 to Proposition 7). The same argument reduces the problem to the case where P=AsP = A_s, which follows immediately from no. 4, Proposition 4.

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