Squares R7C3 and R7C5 in row 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <38>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R7C1 - removing <8> from <158> leaving <15>

R7C7 - removing <8> from <4589> leaving <459>

R7C8 - removing <8> from <589> leaving <59>

Squares R7C5 and R8C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <38>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R2C5 - removing <8> from <289> leaving <29>

R3C5 - removing <8> from <289> leaving <29>

Intersection of row 2 with block 3. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R2C7, R2C8 and R2C9 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C9 - removing <7> from <479> leaving <49>

Squares R7C3, R7C5, R8C3 and R8C5 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <38>.
