Fill in the Blank

A manufacturing coordinator tracks the calibration cycle of an automated assembly arm using the logarithmic equation log2(5x1)=6\log_2(5x - 1) = 6, where xx represents the number of operating days until recalibration is required. To determine xx, the coordinator recalls the definition of a logarithm to rewrite the equation in its equivalent exponential form, 26=5x1{}2^6 = 5x - 1, which simplifies to 64=5x1{}64 = 5x - 1. Solving this equation for the variable, the coordinator finds that the final value of xx is ____.
