This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} x(x+1)(x+2)\frac{x+3}{24} &= 100&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 24 }. \\[1 em]24x(x+1)(x+2)\frac{x+3}{24} &= 24\cdot100&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]x^4+6x^3+11x^2+6x &= 2400&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]x^4+6x^3+11x^2+6x-2400 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
