<button id="right">></button>
<div class="block"></div>
</body>

div {
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #B0E0E6;
    left: 40px;
    width: 80px;
    height: 80px;
    margin: 5px;
  }

Sample solution :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js"></script>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Animates a division left property with a relative value.</title>
</head>
<body>
<button id="left">&lt;</button>
<button id="right">&gt;</button>
<div class="block"></div>
</body>

    width: 80px;
    height: 80px;
    margin: 5px;
  }

 $( "#right" ).click(function() {
  $( ".block" ).animate({ "left": "+=50px" }, "slow" );
