Formal statement that functions intersect

$begingroup$


How do I express the following as a mathematical statement with quantification of all variables and making the universe explicit.



"The curves $y=1-x^2$ and $y=3x-2$ intersect"



So far I have $(exists (x,y)in mathbb{R})$

    How would you say that a point $(x,y)$ is on one of the curves?

    Hint: if a point belongs to both lines (i.e. they intersect), then it's abscissa will give the same ordinate when substituted into the lines' equations.

No need to even mention the irrelevant $y$:



$$exists x in mathbb{R} s.t. 1-x^2 = 3 x-2$$



Just for "culture," here is a graph confirming there are two solutions:
