How to make moving tiles in side scroller?

Question

I have a tile prefab. The user has to jump from tile to tile. I want to know how to make a script so that if attached to a tile, it will make that tile move back and forth along the x Axis. How would I do this?

 private bool movingLeft;
 
 void Update (){
     if(transform.position.x < -4){
         movingLeft = false;
     }
     if(transform.position.x > 4){
         movingLeft = true;
     }
     if(movingLeft){
         transform.Translate(Vector3.Left);
     } else {
         transform.Translate(Vector3.Right);
     }
 }

Yes, that would make it move. But. It would have to stay at (-4,0,0) to (4,0,0) Since its a side scroller eventually the character will be at lets say (100,0,0). So that tile will be wayy off screen. I guess I should have provided more specific information. I am trying to store its current position in a local variable and just add x amount. But having trouble.

Then make the floats variables, set them based in the start method, based on transform.position.x
