(5=4)r6c7 - (4=8)r4c8 - (8)r8c8 = (8-5)r9c7 => -5 r9c7
For the first puzzle, following this simple little discontinuous loop, it solves with basics:
Naked triplets of 359 at r7c4, r9c56 => -3 r7c6, -5 r7c6, r8c46, -9 r8c4
Naked quads of 1579 at r8c1389 => -1 r8c6
Naked quins of 25789 at r8c14689 => -5 r8c3
