Trouble finding the roots of an equation

Dear friends
salve salve!

I'm trying to find n roots for this equation y = x*tan(x)-10.

It seems I'll have to include symbolic calculation, which I was trying to avoid in order to speed up the processing!
So I wonder how I could transform y into a series and get n of its infinite roots.

Any help will be very much appreciated!
