Figure and Table not aligned

I'm trying to align a table and a figure in Latex, but Im not getting the results I want. I followed this answer : Table and figure side-by-side with independent captions

This is the code I used

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{standalone}

\usepackage{pgf}

\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
% Table float box with bottom caption, box width adjusted to content
\newfloatcommand{capbtabbox}{table}[][\FBwidth]

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
\vspace{0pt}
\centering
\rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
\vspace{0pt}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{cc}\hline
Some values & Some values \\
Some values & Some values \\
Some values & Some values \\
Some values & Some values \\
Some values & Some values \\
Some values & Some values \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}


But this is what I get :

• you want [t] aligned minipages not [b] so they both align on the vspace{0pt} (which otherwise is doing nothing) – David Carlisle Mar 12 '19 at 21:23
• Welcome to TeX SX! Try replacing [b]with [t]. – Bernard Mar 12 '19 at 21:24
• Thank you @Bernard , it works – Liam F-A Mar 12 '19 at 21:37
• It should also be noted that [t] and [b] select the baseline of the first and last lines in a minipage or tabular. Hence the \vspace in Mico's solution aligns with the \hline in the tabular. \raisebox has more control. – John Kormylo Mar 13 '19 at 5:11

Your code features several unneeded minipage environments. Remove the "wrappers", and use the [t] positioning specifier for both the remaining minipage environment and the tabular environment.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{minipage}[t]{6.4cm}
\vspace{0sp}
\rule{\textwidth}{3.6cm}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}cc@{}}
\hline
