Show that a is the length of the biggest Jordan chains corresponding to an eigenvalue.

Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space, T belong to L(V) and T has
an eigenvalue x with the corresponding space of generalized eigenvectors Ux. Let
a = min{k : (T-x)^k|Ux = 0}. Show that a is the length of the biggest Jordan
chain(s) corresponding to x. Can anyone help me? I have no clue where to start and how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
