Can 2 linq statements be made into 1?

Question

I have 2 linq statements, below

// Extracts a list of int from List<BookmarkedDeal>         
IEnumerable<int> IDs = user.BookmarkedDeals.Select(d => d.DealId);

// Calls method to return List<Deal> using IDs from previous statement
IEnumerable<Deal> deals = DealBL.FindActiveById(IDs).OrderBy(d => d.Store.Name);

I think it's possible but I can't get my head around it at the moment.

Answer 1

What's the problem with this?

var deals = DealBL.FindActiveById(user.BookmarkedDeals.Select(d => d.DealId))
                  .OrderBy(d => d.Store.Name); 

Answer 2

Just in case you want to have an idea about how it would be doing the same with the query syntax:

var deals = from d in DealBL.FindActiveById(
                from d in user.BookmarkedDeals
                select d.DealId
            )
            orderby d.Store.Name
            select d;
