rsolve when n doesn't start at 0

Question:rsolve when n doesn't start at 0

For the recursive equation

x_n − 10x_n−1 + 50x_n−2 = 0
n = 2, 3, ...
x₀ = 0
x₁ = 10

How do I calculate x_n in Maple? I'm wondering because n doesn't start at 0 but at 2, how will that make a difference?

Thanks in advance!
