Can this equation be solved using an analytical approach?

$$ \frac{\tan(x+4)}{\log_{10}(x+\frac{1}{4})}+12x = 0 $$

It's easy to approximate the solutions using a graphical approach, but I'd like to know if it can also be solved analytically.

Have you tried using WolframAlpha?

The query returns the roots: $$x_1 \approx 1.16050098312550430340684691016547285734$$ $$x_2 \approx 3.88870717165940424459231171773335251316$$ $$x_3 \approx 7.00938317785685608917507135799963829506$$ $$x_4 \approx 10.1452448027782739292083257806596244630.$$

After seeing the numerical solutions, I would guess there is no analytical solution, but I may be wrong.
