With the carpet and pad removed, lay something absolutely straight such as a 6 foot level on the floor.  you are mainly using a level as a straight edge, not as a level.

Move and reposition the level 10 to 50 times over the areas where you plan to install the flooring. Lay the level east/ west and north/ south...... basically all over.

Hopefully under the center of that 6 foot level (straight edge) at any point,  you can't slide a quarter under the level.

Ok, is your floor close to being that flat?

...or can you slide your cell phone under the level (straightedge) at any point?

Without the carpet removed you won't have a clue, but from the photos, you have a lot of work to do if this flooring can be made to work. Hope this helps.

The manufacturer has specifications on how flat your floor needs to be.
