I want to make a table with two columns:

• on the left side, I want to put 2 aligned equations


• on the right side, I want to put a graph.

In the following MCVE, the 2 equations are on the left side but with a huge unused space between them. I want to place those 2 equation just next to the graph

    $

    frac{u_{i+1,j} - u_{i,j}}{Delta t} = kappa frac{u_{i,j-1} - 2u_{i,j} + u_{i,j+1}}{(Delta x)^2}$ \

    $u_{i+1,j} = u_{i,j} + frac{kappa Delta t}{(Delta x)^2}(u_{i,j-1} - 2u_{i,j} + u_{i,j+1})

    $

I propose this somution with the equations inserted in a gathered environment,, and a raisebox for the graph:
