\(a^2\left(x-1\right)-a\left(7x+2\right)-8x=1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a^2x-a^2-7ax-2a-8x=1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(a^2-7a-8\right)=1+a^2+2a\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2-7a-8\ne0\Leftrightarrow a\ne8;a\ne-1\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{a^2+2a+1}{a^2-7a-8}=\dfrac{\left(a+1\right)^2}{\left(a-8\right)\left(a+1\right)}=\dfrac{a+1}{a-8}>-2\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{a+1}{a-8}+2>0\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{a+1+2a-16}{a-8}=\dfrac{3a-15}{a-8}>0\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}a>8\\a< 5\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}a>8\\a< 5\left(a\ne-1\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
