Hello,

This seems like a pretty simple set of equations, but it's stumping
reduce:

{
  Subscript[V, b] == 4/3*Pi*Subscript[r, b]^3,
  Subscript[V, a] == 4/3*Pi*Subscript[r, a]^3,
  V == Subscript[V, b] - Subscript[V, a],
  \[Rho] == m/V
  };
% /. {Subscript[r, b] -> 5.75,
   Subscript[r, a] -> 5.70, \[Rho] -> 8.92};
Reduce[%]

Of course, Solve can handle it. (Change the last expression to
Solve[%,m].)

Any thoughts on helping Reduce out here?
