I'll assume you know the following basic property of integral
elements.

Let A be a subring of B and let H be the set of elements of B which
are integral over A. Then H is a subring of B and H contains A.

So for your problem, let H be the set of elements of S[x] which are
integral over R[x].

Since S is integral over R, S is integral over R[x], hence S is a
subset of H.

Also x is in R[x], so x is in H.

But the smallest subring of S[x] containing S and x is S[x].

It follows that H=S[x], so S[x] is integral over R[x].
