How do you do this

On task one, it pops up with an error that says that the task must pass, so I set age to 13. But then on task two it pops up with an error that says not to set the age variable.

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 13
if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False

Here's my solution: 

admitted = None

if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False

The age isn't something you create, the challenge just passes it in magically to test your code!

the task does not ask you to declare a variable 'age' or assign a value to it, nor to provide and 'else' statement

If you remove the second and last 2 lines it will work

Just so you know, the last two lines of code were for the second task, but thanks for trying to help
