How do I calculate the effective resistance of this circuit? Using only the two formulas: $$\frac{1}{R_{Total}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + \cdots$$ and $$R_{Total} = R_1 + R_2 +R_3$$

I know how to calculate current and voltage using the node voltage method and thus derive the resistance. but I'm wondering how do I get the resistance using strictly only the two resistance formula?

You can’t solve that with only those two equations you quoted. You need to convert from delta to wye etc. and reduce the circuit step-by-step before applying those formulas.
