You can at least take a quick look at the zeros using gnuplot
by plotting contours at zero of the equation
$$0 = \frac{2x}{x^2-1} - \tan(x)$$
set terminal png
set output "test.png"
set xlabel "x"
set ylabel "y"
set contour
set cntrparam levels discrete 0
set view map
unset surface
set isosamples 1000,1000
splot 2*x/(x**2-1) - tan(x)
Since the equation is totally independent of $y$ the solutions are lines parallel to the $y$-axis.
To solve the equation numerically you could use GNU R with the rootSolve
package.
require("rootSolve")
f <- function(x) 2*x/(x^2-1) - tan(x)
r <- uniroot.all(f, c(-10,10))
print(r)
curve(f,-10,10,ylim=c(-5,5),n=1000)
points(r,rep(0,length(r)))
