Squares R2C3 and R2C6 in row 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <68>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C4 - removing <68> from <2368> leaving <23>

R2C7 - removing <6> from <236> leaving <23>

Squares R5C1 and R5C3 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <48>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C5 - removing <8> from <678> leaving <67>

Squares R7C2 and R7C9 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 <38> from <3689> leaving <69>

R7C3 - removing <8> from <2689> leaving <269>

R7C5 - removing <8> from <268> leaving <26>
