Analytic spread of an ideal after reduction

Let $(R,m)$ be a local ring and $I$ an ideal in $R.$ Let $l(I):=\dim \bigoplus_{n\geq 0}(I^n/mI^n)$ and $x\in R\setminus I.$ My question is what is the relation between $l(I)$ anf $l(I+(x)/(x))?$

Is it true that monomorphisms of local Artinian $\mathbb{R}$-algebras are regular?

A Weil algebra is a finite-dimensional real algebra, in which each element is the uniquely sum of a scalar and a nilpotent (so nilpotents constitute the only maximal ideal of codimension 1). In other ...
