How can I put a figure beside a table with a single caption for both figure and table?

Question

I have a table below and I would like to insert a figure to its right. Both table and figure will use a single caption. Below is my code for the table.

\begin{table*}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|cc|cc|cc|}
\hline%\noalign{\smallskip}
\multirow{2}{*}{Type} & \multirow{2}{*}{Model} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{$\text{x}_{1:10} \rightarrow \hat{\text{x}}_{11:30}$} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{$\text{x}_{1:10} \rightarrow \hat{\text{x}}_{11:50}$} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{$\text{x}_{1:10} \rightarrow \hat{\text{x}}_{11:70}$} \\

\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

I tried following the code here Include table as a subfigure but the figure always appears below.

Please make your code compilable by adding the documentclass as well as the required packages. Regarding the second image: Did you get any error messages compiling your code? If so, which? (The [][] in your second screenshot makes me guess that you got an error message such as " Undefined control sequence. \subfloat" because you forgot to add the subfig package to your preamble.) Apart from that, your table and image are probably wider than the textwidth, hence they are placed below each other instead of side-by-side. This guess is however hard to confirm without a full MWE. — leandriis, Sep 19 '20 at 12:54
Your table is very wide as it is, so there's very little (no) room to place an image (chart) next to it. — Werner, Sep 19 '20 at 19:36

Your table is litle bit to wide, so in the following MWE i reduce used font size in table and size of \tabcolsep
table and image are encapsulated in table
for vertical centering of figure is used valign=c c option defined in adjustbox package (it also load graphicx package,

Addendum: If you like to have aligned table and image at their bottoms, than you just add option [b]˙to insert4d table and at image remove option valign=c`:

Thank you very much! Latex is so difficult to understand. One last question, how would I vertically align my table to the bottom (or center) if the figure is taller than the table? e.g. valign=bottom or valign=c for tabular but I can't find a similar type of command for the table environment. — Kong, Sep 19 '20 at 20:15
@Kong, you are welcome! Well, with some experiences all become clear and understandable :-) — Zarko, Sep 19 '20 at 20:16
@Kong, for bottom align of table and image remove \valign=c and at option [b] to inserted tabular: \begin{tabular}[b]{@{} |l|l|cc|cc|cc|@{}}. — Zarko, Sep 19 '20 at 20:20

How can I put a figure beside a table with a single caption for both figure and table?
