Changing the space between next and back buttons - html

Question

I'm using The Point theme and I'm trying to move the previous page button to appear to the left side, I looked at the Styles.css file and figured how to make the next page in the right side but I can't figure out how to expand the space between the two buttons and make the previous page button in the left side, they are just stacked together...
Here is a screenshot of it:

and here is the pagination code from the styles.css file :
/* Pagination */
nav.posts-navigation { clear: both }
.pagination {
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
margin: 5px auto;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
}
.single .pagination {
border: 0;
box-shadow: none;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
margin-top: 0;
padding: 3% 0;
width: 100%;
text-align: right;
}
.pagination ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
.pagination ul li {
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.pagination .current, .pagination .dots, .pagination a:hover {
color: #fff;
margin: 0 1px 0 0;
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 13px;
background: #2a2a2a;
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.single .pagination .current {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background: transparent;
}
.single .pagination a .currenttext {
padding: 0;
background: transparent;
color: #FFF;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.single .pagination a:hover .currenttext { color: #fff }
.pagination a {

margin: 0 1px 0 0;
display: inline-block;

text-decoration: none;

padding: 10px 13px;

font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.pagination ul li:last-child a { margin-right: 0 }
.pagination a:hover { color: #fff }
.pagination i.icon-left { margin-right: 7px }
.pagination i.icon-right { margin-right: 7px }
.top {

}
.pnavigation2 {

overflow: hidden;
padding: 15px 0;
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.pagination .nav-previous { float: left }
.pagination .nav-next { float: right }
.pagination .nav-previous a, .pagination .nav-next a { color: #fff!important }
.pagination .nav-previous a:hover, .pagination .nav-next a:hover { background-color: #222 }
.single .currenttext { margin-bottom: 0 }
.pagination .current .currenttext { margin-bottom: 10px }

One way to do this is to use Flexbox and justify-content: space-between. Each link button (flex children), becomes pinned to either corner of the parent element.
.pagination {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.btn {
background-color: #35bbee;
padding: 10px 15px;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
}
<div class="pagination">
<a class="btn btn-prev" href="#">Previous Page</a>
<a class="btn btn-next" href="#">Next Pages</a>
</div>
