How do I edit this matrix system of equations?
Is there a way to remove the right vertical line in the following matrix?

documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
$ begin{vmatrix} alpha & -& beta =180\ alpha & +&beta =68
end{vmatrix}$

I think a mod should strengthen the title of the question to improve the quality of it being searchable. I’m sure this is inherently duplicate to something else already on TeX SE, but perhaps it’s salvageable as a necessary duplicate that mirrors another way of asking the question.

You maybe want to use systeme, rather than a matrix for that, which makes for even easier input:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{systeme}
begin{document}
[
systeme[alphabeta]{
alpha-beta=180,
alpha+beta=68
}
]
[
sysdelim|.
systeme[alphabeta]{
alpha-beta=180,
alpha+beta=68
}
]
[
syssubstitute{{a}{alpha}{b}{beta}}
systeme[alphabeta]{
3alpha - beta = 180,
alpha + 2beta = 68
}
]
end{document}
The traditional grouping is done with a brace, but you can also use a vertical bar as shown. If you want that all your systems have a vertical bar, type the sysdelim|. command in the preamble.

Latin letters need not be declared as variables in the optional argument to systeme.
Why notcasesenvironment? Btw thank you for showing us thesystemepackage!!
