Auburnmom,
Please post the original puzzle. The one you have posted is not valid. For example, it has ten rows!
Even if I correct what seems to be your typo, R1C2 cannot be 48.

I'll take a closer look, but in the grid you posted, take a close look at 4.

From the original puzzle, after basics:
Code: | +----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 2 49 8 | 14@ 3 6 | 5 7 19 |
| 49# 3 7 | 2 5 14@ | 8 6 19 |
| 5 6 1 | 7 9 8 | 3 24 24 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 7 5 3 | 19 4 19 | 2 8 6 |
| 6 8 4 | 5 7 2 | 1 9 3 |
| 1 2 9 | 8 6 3 | 4 5 7 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 489 49 6 | 3 1 459 | 7 24 2458 |
|-48-9 1 5 | 49# 2 7 | 6 3 48 |
| 3 7 2 | 6 8 45 | 9 1 45 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | The pattern marked is both a kite / skyscraper on 4 and a W-wing 4-9. Solving R8C1 as 8, and the puzzle.

Logically, a skyscraper and a kite are the same thing. After basics: Code: | +----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 2 49@ 8 | 14@ 3 6 | 5 7 19 |
| 49 3 7 | 2 5 14 | 8 6 19 |
| 5 6 1 | 7 9 8 | 3 24 24 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 7 5 3 | 19 4 19 | 2 8 6 |
| 6 8 4 | 5 7 2 | 1 9 3 |
| 1 2 9 | 8 6 3 | 4 5 7 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 489 49# 6 | 3 1 -459 | 7 24 2458 |
| -489 1 5 | 49# 2 7 | 6 3 48 |
| 3 7 2 | 6 8 45 | 9 1 45 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | Note the strong links on 4 in C24. In R1, at least one of the cells @ is false. (The link in R1 can be strong or weak.) So, at least one of the cells # is true. The cells # are pincers on 4, making two eliminations as shown.
Now, check out Havard's classic explanation. The link is in this thread:

You'll have this down in no time!
Best wishes,
