Two voltages, V1 and V2.
How to realize a output vout=K1*V1-K2*V2 with simple circuit?
where 0<K1, K2<1.
Thanks.
 

if output latency is not an issue or can be limited to some value - go for attiny avr micro with builtin adc as:
a. analog/digital conversion
b. math with signal
c. digital/analog conversion by pwm .

The circuit will cost - one dollar (if input/output signals bandwidth rdestrictions are not high).

Or go for analog implementation with analog multipliers and opamp for substraction (more costly).

Or there are otehr ways . Implementation mainly depends on :
- input signals bandwidth
- operation accuracy requirements

V1 and V2 are DC voltage.
K1≠1-K2
 

If K1 and 2 are constants - one opamp will be enough. Look for figure 3.5 in
