Using the values given for p and q in all combinations, I get the following values:
p q p - 1/p + q^2 q/p + pq
-2.825993776082988 -1.572302755514847 -4.944271909999159 4.999689428353011

FOR a = -1 TO 1 STEP 2
FOR b = -1 TO 1 STEP 2
FOR c = -1 TO 1 STEP 2
q = a * SQR(2 * (SQR(5) - 1))
p = b * (SQR(5) - 1) + c * SQR(7 - 2 * SQR(5))
PRINT p; TAB(20); q; TAB(40); p - 1 / p - q * q; TAB(60); q / p + p * q

While there are some zeros for the first formula, none of the second produces a 4.
