No digit first, no space or hyphen, and not a keyword.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
my_age: valid.2fast: not valid. It starts with a digit.total-cost: not valid. A hyphen is not allowed. Usetotal_cost._score: valid. A name may start with an underscore.class: not valid. It is a keyword that Python already uses.
Answer: my_age and _score.
