    13 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    17 + 15 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 101 / 5 = 20.2

    Mean before was 20.2

    In order for the mean to be 19, all those numbers would have to add up 114 to be divided by 6 and have a mean of 19

    114 / 6 = 19

    114-101 = 13 is that number

    17 + 15 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 13 = 114 / 6 = 19
