Show that an element $x$ belongs to the unique maximal ideal of the commutative ring $R$ if and only if $...

Multi tool use
Let R be a commutative ring with $1 neq 0$. Let $M$ be the unique maximal ideal of R. I want to show that $x in M$ if and only if $1+xr$ is invertible for every $r in R$. I am a bit stuck on where to begin. Any hints are appreciated.

Suppose that $xin M, $ for every $r, xrin M$ since $M$ is an ideal. If $(1+xr)$ is not invertible, it is contained in a maximal ideal which is $M$, you deduce that $1=(1+xr)-xrin M$. Contradiction.
Suppose that $(1+xr)$ is invertible for every $r$, if $x$ is not in $M$, it is invertible, there exists $u$ such that $ux=1$, $1+(-u)x=0$ is not invertible. Contradiction.
